a

few examples of set-ups that you can create by combining Gear pieces together.

Booker can only use Possession on one human enemy at a time, but the length of the effect varies berween enemy rypes.

Human foes react to Possession differently. The effect wears offover time (its effect fades much faster on tougher enemies),
but human enemies kill themselves

as

the effect fades. This makes it possible to eliminate a couple of foes by simply casring

Possession at each one of them. As the effect shifts

from one adversary to the other, the enemy no ionger under the Vigor's trance

will kill himseif with his weapon. This is especially helpful when you're low on ammo, provided you have enough Salt to employ
this expensive Vigor.

adversaries off.

Ascend the stairs to the main lobby of the station and immediately cast Possession on the Motorized Patriot in the center of the

room. Note the numerousTears around the room (including the Medical Kits near the stairs), and open theTear for theTesla

coil nearest the most enemies. The Tesla coil works much like Shock Jockey and automatically electrocutes any enemies that get
too close. You can really take advantage ofthis by using Bucking Bronco just as an enemy starts to get zapped. This knocks your
opponents into the air and effectively holds them in place for further shock damage . Enemies killed by the Tesla coil count toward
the "Hazard Paf' bonus.
Stick close to the stairs that you came up and continue to use the Tesla coils, Bucking Bronco, and your weaponry to dispatch
the numerous Vox Populi that attack. Elizabeth calls out a Fireman, the first of two. The same tactic works against the Fireman,

but it's also worth hitting him with Undertow and your heavier firepower, such

use the combating forces to

The Handyman can leap far and wide and is also capable of

him by moving along the upper Sky-Line beween the rooftop

you keep an eye on him, fire the RPG from the Sky-Line

REPEL THE AIRBORNE ASSAULT

The flight to the Hand of the Prophet won't be as uneventful as Booker was hoping. Another gunship soon deploys from the
zeppelin and is due inbound any moment, as are several others after it. A number of Vox barges eventually join these police barges,
as

well.

Lament@Xbox360iso

.:;.:i{

Each ship has a coupie of freight hooks that make leaping back and forth relatively safe and easy. Each gunship typically has four
enemy passengers, three of which are often hear,y soldiers with Machine Guns. The single best way to take them out (and unlock

the "Bon Voyage" bonus) is to leap to the freight hook, perform a Slg-Line Strike on a nearby adversary to safely dismount
the hook, then knock the crew off the ship with Undertow. Undertow, especially

if

upgraded, can knock all three or four foes

overboard with a single use. Clear the deck of enemies, then leap back to your ship and deal with the Mosquitos that attack
between the waves of enemy gunships. Check each gunship for Salts before disembarking.

Continue to do this until you have repelled all four barges, including the rwo Vox gunships. Return to your original police barge,
where Elizabeth awaits, and prepare to dock with the Hand of the Prophet.

the most part, as their main purpose is to march across the

deck and open fire on the energy core beneath the bridge. The meter in the upper right-hand corner ofthe screen alerts you to

how much durability the zeppelin stili has.

Defending the zeppelin is too hard for one person to do alone; not even Booker can do it. Fortunately, you have the Songbird.

You'll be able to command the Songbird to attack any of the red targeting circles that appear. These targets appear on Vox
gunships, at different areas of the zeppelint deck, and eventually on rhe enemy zeppelins. Keep in mind that the Songbird has

to regaia its strength after each attack. The larger the target you assign it, the longer it takes to recover and be ready for another
strike. Both Elizabeth and the on-screen Songbird Meter keep you apprised of the Songbirdt status.
There are several Tears available on the deck, including those for Medical Kits, which you'll need. Equip Gear that boosts your
capabilities while using Slq'-Lines and that adds extra damage to your explosive weapons. It's aiso worth equipping at least one
piece of Gear that offers remporary

invincibiliry whether from leaping off

a Sky-Line or by eating a consumable.

The key to successfully defending

the Hand of the Prophet is to be in

This is a lengthy, difEcult battle to survive on your first try, but stick with it. Use the Sky-Lines to move about the deck quickiy,
and try to kill as many of the Vox

as

you can the moment they board the zeppelin-do not allow them to make their way all the

way to the energy corel Use the brief breaks between gunships to grab a Medical

Kit or

Salt Phial (there are several Vigors and

Salt Phials near the controls behind the energy core), and stay on the move. Switch to the RPG on the crare near the energy core

if you run out of ammo for the Volley Gun, but

save

its iimited ammo for groups of enemies. Dont be afraid to scavenge ammo

and weapons from enemy corpses.

FOUNDER\TEAPONRY
Each of the 11 Founder weapons (including the Sky-Hook) has a corresponding bonus. Use these weapons as Booker engages in

combat with the Founders and Vox Populi to rack up enough kills to meet the criteria for each. You'll likely be tempted to swap

out the Broadsider Pistol for the Founder China Broom at your
first opportuniry. This is fine. Just make sure to periodically

use

the Pistol later on in your journey to unlock the Achievement/

Trophy. Note that only the Vox Hail Fire counts toward your
progress on these challenges, as each ofthe other Vox guns (the

Burstgun and Repeater) differs significantly from its

Founder counterpart. Consult the table on the nexr page for the
Achievement/Tiophy details.
